Pulse Excel Logging

Pulse Excel Logging

Pulse Excel Logging tracks the use of TM1-connected Excel workbooks across your organisation, providing visibility into which spreadsheets are being used, by whom, and how often.

Accessing Excel Workbook Analytics

Go to Reports → Excel Workbooks.

This view shows a list of all Excel workbooks containing TM1 formulas that have been opened by users. For each workbook you can see:

  • The workbook name

  • Which users have opened it

  • Usage frequency

Drilling into a Workbook

Click on a specific workbook to see stats broken down by sheet, showing which sheets within the workbook are being accessed and how actively.

Why This Matters

Excel is deeply integrated with TM1 and is often used for reporting, planning, and analysis. Without visibility into Excel usage, administrators have no way to know:

  • Which reports are actively being used vs. abandoned

  • Who is using which workbooks

  • Whether TM1-connected spreadsheets are following best practices

Pulse Excel Logging bridges this gap, helping teams make informed decisions about report maintenance, user training, and licence management.
